Stronger with every loss,
Nova is the kind of person that can find a compliment in anything, and Jack's words have her beaming just a little brighter, the constant chiming song of her thoughts a little lighter, her steps dancing a little faster around the fire between them. It feels like he knows that she's already awesome, and her potential is limitless. It's not like she needs his approval, but it hits different coming from someone she considers nearly on par with her own abilities - and has nothing to do with the fact that Jack is kind of somewhat like a shadow of an unofficial father figure.
Whatever he is, he manages to keep his balance and Nova shrugs her shoulders. "I'll let you know if it ever pops up!" Or strikes? Regardless, she isn't similarly inclined to downplay or hide her abilities like other people.
As she's spinning to face him again, she misses the rock that he'd thrown, squealing as she throws her hands out in unfiltered instinct. Ice laces her fingers while wind and earth buffer against the rock, shoving it back through the fire that her magic drags behind it, right back at Jack.
4/4
